For inter-kingdom RP plotlines, Kindoms STILL needs a good kingdom mode. What's the lowest AC now? When I left it was -60 X.x Have fun fighting with that
A kingdom mode off the top of my head:
One commander on each side - AC -5 , equipped with war axe/Diamond Force, so they stand out
Five Captains, AC 0, equipped with a dam +6 weapon (axe/sword/mace, they can choose)
Any number of Soldiers, maybe limited per kingdom so kingdoms like Zormite/Dustari would have more than Pirates/Samurai as they are (to my mind) meant to be smaller, elite groups.
Thus, Dustari/Zormite/Astri soldiers: AC 6, dam +3 weapon
Pirate/Samurai soliders: AC 4, dam+4 weapon.
All have the same stats. There are 3 different bells, ring a different one to become a different level of warrior. Obviously the limit means that each Kingdom will need to choose its leaders (captains and commander) carefully, and the similar equips/stats means that not necessarily the person with leetest stuff ingame will get those positions, but those which are good at fighting.
So people will need to hone their skills in duels ingame, on a dueling ring on the particular kingdom island. (Kingdom Mode only works on kingdom Islands, so if on Main Island you'll be counted as being in peaceful mode). This gives rise to RP tourneys for positions, hopefully. And could give rise to RP character feuds too...=o
And a small kingdom sign appears above the head of each member of a kingdom, so it's easy to tell who's your friend and who isn't.
The idea is that you don't get one level 37243786 person with AC -4853748937 rampaging through with a prepped dam+3487588972 weapon of <insert god name here>+374877 (values may be exaggerated slightly). And so kingdom fights are vaguely interesting and close and use tactics.
Hell, if you wanna get complicated give kingdom-specific units - Dustarian Mounted knights, Samurai, well, Samurai , Zormite Elite Guard (both tougher foot troops), and Pirate Swashbucklers (or some other name) who get dual weield weapons or something. But that's really complicated I don't think dual wield would work.
Edit: left a sentence unfinished, extra material added.
